1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local Storage is a modern web browser mechanism that allows web applications to securely store data locally within your user agent without transmitting data on every HTTP server request.
2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
CityEventGuides uses cookies and local storage tokens exclusively to ensure core site functionality, maintain navigation drawer states, remember your cookie consent choice, and verify 18+ age status for responsible card room browsing:
Summary of Storage Keys Used
cookie_consent_accepted: Stores your cookie banner consent decision (1 year duration).age_verified_18: Stores your 18+ age confirmation to prevent repeated modal prompts when visiting card room pages (1 year duration).
3. Categories of Storage Employed
We classify our digital storage items into the following clear categories:
A. Strictly Necessary Tokens
These tokens are essential for browsing the website and accessing secured reservation functions. Without these items, services like age verification confirmation and reservation form validation cannot function properly.
B. Preference Tokens
Preference storage allows our website to remember choices you make (such as dismissing notification banners or saving form input state during multi-step reservation planning).
C. Technical Security Logs
Anonymized, server-side diagnostic logs created automatically by web servers to safeguard against cyber threats and maintain server uptime.
4. Managing & Disabling Cookies
You can manage, block, or delete cookies and local storage items at any time through your web browser settings. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data

Note: If you clear local storage tokens, you will be prompted to re-confirm your 18+ age status upon your next visit to the Card Lounge section.
5. Policy Updates & Inquiries
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological adjustments or statutory compliance guidance in Finland. For questions regarding our cookie practices, please contact our web team at privacy@cityeventguides.com.
